When do you chamber a round while hunting?

Yes, but will it stay featured.

So I just mortar stomped two Remington 700s hard as **** a few times, and it didn't go off with a just empty case and primer. One with the factory x mark and the other with a timney. Safety's work. And the biggest safety is keep that finger out of the trigger guard. So, I'll just do that

I guess I should go cook some popcorn first

Will this do?

Just curious here. Never been to Africa but have seen different TV shows of hunts. See PH's, trackers, and hunters carrying their firearms by the muzzle. Is that a common practice over there? If so, guns are completely unloaded I would assume and there's no option A,B, or C.

Alcoholism killed my uncle, but he had a stock ADL and I saw it go off three times I think, maybe four.
Never, was a finger on the trigger when it happened. That gun got sent in for a factory recall. That doesn't mean it can't happen again.

Remington had some issues for a while...

Did you do that with the rifle decocked or the safety on?

 

[FIGJAM]

Your example is good enough proof for most.

I'll let Figgy explain the deficiencies.

Here it comes now... "but did your Uncle have his finger on the trigger when he slammed the bolt home?"

Remember, it has to measure up to Figgy's proof level. Something he demands. But hasn't articulated.

That example is still different than a decocked rifle discharging isn't?

Congratulations Figgy. You've collected 3 votes for your safe gun handling preference # "C".

Don't get me wrong. Your opinion is 100% correct for you. But worthless to 97%. 98% if I were to cast my vote. Seems like my opinion is thought of quite highly by most everyone, EXCEPT you. BTW, that makes yours insignificant.

You must have got an in-law to vote.

I wasn't trying to gain any votes brother, and haven't heard anything in this thread worth changing my mind. In fact those that have actually tested it with an primered empty cartridge couldn't get a discharge which I would think supports my position don't you?

My dad taught me method A. That's what I taught my boys. Have never been in such a rush to shoot that I didn't have a second to run the bolt and load a round.

That said, when hunting coyotes with the gas gun, method B is used.

I don't believe he's said one way or the other if that was condition B or C. I'm going to leave it with this because I think it bears repeating:

What I am trying to argue is this:

A primer fires by inertia from the pin, no one would argue that. With the pin resting on the primer all that's left to do is add inertia. How much, or what direction is irrelevant; no one knows for sure what kind of accident or takes to complete the cycle.

No one would argue that one should replace using common sense and firearms safety with a mechanical one; *but*, with said mechanism in use there is at least something in use that is designed to arrest the pin. With condition C, there's none.

That's all I've got, let it sway who it may.

In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion,[3] whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain.

I don't disagree with what you are saying...isn't that the big trigger issue remington got in trouble for? I think that is damning for having a cartridge in the chamber period.
